SKYY Fund Description

SKYY Factset Analytics Insight

SKYY is the only ETF on the market that focuses on cloud computing, but its complex methodology highlights the difficulty of capturing this particular space. It holds a mix of pure-play, non-pure-play and technology-conglomerate cloud computing companies, and weights each type of company equally within its category. SKYY allocates 10% of its portfolio to technology conglomerates that simply make use of cloud computing, and weights non-pure-play companies by their capitalization as a share of the overall market capitalization. The remainder of its portfolio covers pure-play companies. This takes SKYY far afield from our broader technology segment benchmark, tilting to midcaps with significant sector biases. SKYY can be traded safely with a bit of care, though occasionally significant spreads make limit orders advisable. Excellent primary liquidity should keep creations costs low. While SKYY isn't cheap, its fee is about average for a niche fund with a unique methodology and approach, and tracking is generally good.
